President Donald Trump’s former deputy campaign manager David Bossie on Sunday said ousted chief White House strategist Steve Bannon did not see his departure from the White House as a “personal” matter.
“I do believe that Steve Bannon is going to be a very loyal soldier to the President as it relates to his agenda from the outside,” Bossie, who runs Citizens United, said on “Fox News Sunday.”
He predicted that Bannon will be “a very important voice for the President as it relates to leaning into Congress,” which Bossie called “one of the biggest challenges the President’s had.”
Asked who pushed for Bannon’s ouster, Bossie said, “There are a host and there has been, and we’ve all read about and seen about the different factions within the White House staff.”
He said such divisions exist in “every presidency.”
“There’s no difference here,” Bossie said. “The one thing I’ve learned from Steve in the last couple of days is, in his opinion, for the future, this is not personal to him.”
Steve Bossie’s been peddling bullshit for years. No reason to expect anything different from him here. I think we can expect from all the “good talk” folks are painting on Bannon’s departure that he’s going to be a problem. It’s silly to think a man like Steve Bannon isn’t pissed off about getting axed. Of course he is. And he wants retribution. No Liberal or Democrat was responsible for that kick in the ass. My guess it was Kelly and Kushner that moved Trump to do it. And that’s where Bannon will point his mouthpiece B’Bart News. No one can control him now. B’Bart will boil over with outrageous allegations and climes and the Trump administration will have to tap dance away from that. It doesn’t matter if Bannon is pissing out of or into the tent. He’s trouble and now he’s unchained.
It is probably a thankless, even hopeless, task, but I am trying to reconcile this, and other, ‘Bannon will fight for Trump’s agenda from outside’ declarations, with the ‘Schwarzenegger 2.0’ clarion from the Breitbartistas. It begins to seem like Trotskyites in exile versus Stalinists in control, battling over the legacy of Lenin; or summat…
Yes, David. I am sure everything is sunshine and daisies and unicorn farts, and the reason everybody on the White house staff in running around like headless chickens is because they drank too much espresso.
The only time I want to see Bossie on air is if he does a Downfall bunker scene, on air, simultaneously chomping down on a cyanide capsule and pulling the trigger of a Luger aimed at his temple.
I suspect Donald will converse with Bannon 5 times a day, and Bannon will be very supportive, over all, of his partial creation.
